§48-5-510. Consideration of financial factors in ordering
temporary relief.
(a) In ordering temporary relief under the provisions of this
part 5, the court shall consider the financial needs of the
parties, the present income of each party from any source, their
income-earning abilities and the respective legal obligations of
each party to support himself or herself and to support any other
persons.

(b) Except in extraordinary cases supported by specific
findings set forth in the order granting relief, payments of
temporary spousal support and temporary child support are to be
made from a party's income and not from the corpus of a party's
separate estate, and an award of such relief shall not be
disproportionate to a party's ability to pay as disclosed by the
evidence before the court: Provided, That child support shall be
established in accordance with the child support guidelines set
forth in article 13 of this chapter.
